I love her

Charles was getting impatient with her silence. Would she still refuse to stand up to her bullies, Charles starts to doubt everything.

"You guys are here, c'mon it time to exhaust our plan before everyone goes completely out of their minds". Sophia says coming into the balcony.

Charles let go of Karen's hand and looked at her. She only smiled.

"Yes let's do this". She says taking hold of Charles hand. He smiled at her and nodded towards Sophia. They walked out of the balcony and sauntered to their spots.

Sophia volunteered to pull the rope of the trap so Tyler went with her to keep watch so no one would sees them.

As the song changed, Charles walked up to Tina and smiled. "Would you like to dance".

Tina's eyes widen. Is this really happening, she thinks to herself.

"I knew you'll come around babe. You don't have to say anything. I know, you got bored with that nerd and finally realized what you were missing. Don't worry, I've forgiven you". Tina says standing up.

Charles only smiled at her and extended his hand. "Shall we".

"Sure, I'll be back girls". She grabs his hand and they walked to the dance floor together.

"Good luck". Her friends shouted from behind.

She immediately sneaks her arms around Charles and brought him closer.

"I've missed you so much". She says hugging him.

"Is he there to bring her to the spot or hug her. Why doesn't he just dance with her". Karen whispers to herself. But why is she getting annoyed, it's not like he is her boyfriend.

The two kept on dancing until Charles moved back.

"What's wrong". Tina asked smiling.

Sophia took the chance and dragged the rope, making cheese pour all over Tina.

"Ahhhhhhh". Tina screamed and the broke down into tears.

Her minions immidatley came to her. "Tina what happened". Natalie asked.

"Are you really asking me questions, get me a towel". Tina screams.

Layla sauntered out of the living room and came back with a towel.

Tina snatches it from her and uses it to clean her face. The music had stopped, everywhere was silent. Even the drunken knows not to say a word for it would be pure trouble.

"Now tell me, who the f*ck did this". Tina screams. Karen was afraid that Tina might loose her voice from all those screaming.

It's either now or never, Karen kept on repeating Charles words.

Before anyone could talk, Karen spoke up surprising everyone, even Charles. "I did it". Karen says coming infront of Tina with a broad smile.

"You..". Tina growls.

"Yes me. I bet that would teach you to stay way from my friends and I". Karen says.

"You don't have the guts to stand up against me. Your nothing but a pathetic looser Karen. A total disappointment to your Dad. You'll never be any good". Tina snears, her glares digging holes into Karen's body.

Karen moved a few steps closer to Tina. "What you say doesn't in anyway define me Tina".

"You all would regret it. You don't know who my Dad is, y'all would come begging to me". Tina says pointing at Karen and her friends.

"Oh now the little girl is running to her Daddy for help. Good luck with that Missy". Sophia smirked now standing besides Karen.

"I can't believe you did this to me Charles. You actually helped them to get me". Tina says batting her fake lashes and pouting.

"I didn't help them to do it". Charles says his hands in his pocket.

Tina's eyes sparkled with a little hope.

"It was actually my plan and they helped me with it". Charles friends behind him silently chuckled at this.

"I can't believe your doing this to me. But you all should wait and see. I'll definitely make your lifes in this school a living hell". Tina growls.

"And tell me Tina, what are you going to do. I've been hearing that for years and I don't think you can actually do anything other than lying to everyone". Karen folds her hands across her chest.

"You will regret this". Tina snears living the party, a few of her minions followed her.

"Whoe you did a great job there Karen. You actually surprised me". Sophia says hugging Karen.

After watching all the drama, everyone went back to enjoying the party.

"I knew you had it in you. Great job". Charles smiles at Karen.

"Thank you. I wouldn't have done it without you". Karen returns the smile.

"Well..".

"Well..".

"Well you can thank me in a different way".

"And what way is that".

"You can thank me by dancing with me".

Karen laughed. "Of course".

"May I have the honour". Charles says extending his hand.

"The honour is all mine". Karen put her much smaller hand in his and he lead her to the dance floor.

Charles wrapped his arms around Karen's waist as she slip hers around his neck.

They slowly sway together along to with the rhythm of the music.

Suddenly they were the only once on the dance floor. Everyone else seemed to have disappeared and all they could feel was each other's presence and heart beats. Time seemed to have paused.

That wasn't the first time the they were that close, but this time it felt different.

She felt safe in his arms, as though nothing and no one would be able to harm her.

She noticed something in his eyes, the way he was looking at her warmly. She couldn't comprehend the sparks in his eyes. But whatever it was didn't sit well with her.

Staring at her blue hazel eyes, Charles knew he wanted nothing but to hold this beauty in his arms forever.

All he wanted to do was protect her from every harm till his last breath.

Since the first day he met her, he has always been drawn to her. When his around her he felt like he was high on cocaine.

She is his addiction.

His Mom had always said that you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time.

Wait!

I just admitted I love her, Charles thinks to himself.

I love her.

I love her.

I love Karen Anthony Harrison.

Charles kept on chanting in his head as a big smile creeped into his face.
